Stephane Dion was a great Intergov't Minister, we need someone like him now. <BR/><BR/>Quebec sovereignty is a topic that I am planning on blogging on in the near future...<BR/><BR/>And yes, Justin Trudeau should definately cut his teeth. Canada is looking for leaders, and we are greatly in need of them.<BR/><BR/>DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1116045982370848422005-05-13T22:46:00.000-06:002005-05-13T22:46:00.000-06:00Dave,I think its clear that the case for federalis...Dave,<BR/><BR/>I think its clear that the case for federalism has to be made all the time, as a matter of principle. Stephane Dion was so good at it as intergovernmental affairs minister, he could put the lie to all manner of nonsense arguments coming from the pequiste ranks. <BR/><BR/>Justin's right, we can't let a malaise or a complacency set in about how good we have it in Canada, or get distracted by political issues like the scandal that make us lose sight of bigger issues like our identity and core values. When that happens political opportunists can play on people's passions and lead them astray.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see Justin get in the game and cut his teeth. People make him out to be the second coming of PET but the jury is still out, let's see what he can do. We need young people like him in politics.Fred Dynamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926785062363179842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1116041735064900822005-05-13T21:35:00.000-06:002005-05-13T21:35:00.000-06:00Zita- I KNOW!

I still don't believe that anything in our article was "wrong." I don't blame the "Liberal Party" as in all members and all constituency presidents across the country. I am extremely disgusted at what went on, and as a member who has put a hell of alot of volunteer hours in during the past few years, I think I have the right to be quite pissed off when I find out that this kind of crap is going on. Seeing how the individuals involved were staff and high level members of the Liberal Party (all be it in Quebec), I feel betrayed.<BR/><BR/>I may be a Liberal and a liberal, but the Liberal party must be held accountable for these actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1116024936874334012005-05-13T16:55:00.000-06:002005-05-13T16:55:00.000-06:00"We've allowed it to become so; we as voters, we a..."We've allowed it to become so; we as voters, we as citizens."<BR/><BR/>Trudeau is blaming us for the way the Liberal party is, and he's right.<BR/><BR/>Your article implied blame on the Liberal party for what a few of its members did, and that's still wrong.<BR/><BR/>You both agree that the Liberal party needs to be reformed, and on that front, you're both right.Gauntlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061438876627317881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-1115964140185409402005-05-13T00:02:00.000-06:002005-05-13T00:02:00.000-06:00Man, I have been saying this for months!

Of course, it only has credibility when a "Trudeau" says it...damn you Justin!<BR/><BR/>But seriously kids, this is a major, major situation and anyone who has spent any time in Quebec in the last year (and has talked politics while there) can probably attest to it. <BR/><BR/>ZitaZita Dubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428900201617145520noreply@blogger.com
